1/ We have been debating with some colleagues about the importance of learning about our decisions within the organization, and how the fast rotation of talent that's happening lately is affecting the decision-making outcomes quality.
2/ Here we had the supposition that the feedback cycle between a decision is made and understanding the consequences are long enough. We always thrive for fast feedback loops, yet we acknowledge that that's not always possible.
3/ It's not the same doing TDD within a unit test - feedback cycle of seconds-minutes vs a business decision and go-to-market strategy that can take months.

We are talking about the latter. Where those business learnings are most valuable for the organization

I woke up to a great twitter thread from @QuinnyPig. As always, @QuinnyPig has a good twitter thread on mechanics and some technical details on what it means when @awscloud says it is will boot Parler off of #AWS

2 points: WHAT and HOW you build on #Cloud
Two points are most important for any business that builds on Cloud: (1) WHAT is built on Cloud and (2) HOW it is built on it?

There are some great points here and wanted to start a twitter thread on my own quoting @QuinnyPig.
Quoting @QuinnyPig (emphasis added)...
"Making WHAT you built on AWS's systems work elsewhere is super challenging."

This making it "elsewhere" whether another cloud or on-premise servers requires how the original technical architecture and solution(s) are built.

for that first iteration of the code, simple don't mean shortcut:

simple != easy
simple != hacky
simple != rushed
simple != poorly written

even the first cut, MVP, needs to be changeable, testable, clear, expressive, etc

#TDD #technicalDebt #refactoring
the "make it work" part (K.Beck) always gets mistaken to mean, hack at the code, squeeze, force-fit, finagle, the easiest and quickest thing that'll get the managers, customers, users off our back.

but we just end up on the wrong side of karma

it just adds high interest technical debt, and need to refactor out:

- initial understanding, with deeper insight into the feature
- tightly coupled, low cohesion, incoherent, viscous, rigid, fragile, immobile code
